Derek Luke (born April 24, 1974) is an American actor. He won the Independent Spirit Award for his big-screen debut performance in the 2002 film Antwone Fisher, directed and produced by Denzel Washington. Since 1998, he has been married to actress Sophia Adella Luke.
Luke was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, the son of Marjorie Dixon, a pianist, and Maurice Luke, a former actor. His father is from Georgetown, Guyana. He attended freshman year at Linden High School and graduated from Henry Snyder High School in 1993.
An audition with casting director Robi Reed-Humes for the role of Antwone Fisher went well enough that Luke was called in to meet Washington, one of Luke's childhood idols.
Luke played one of the four male leads in Spike Lee's 2008 war film Miracle at St. Anna, replacing Wesley Snipes, who had to leave the film due to his highly publicized tax problems.
Luke played a small part as a nurse in the 1999 episode "White Collar" of the sitcom The King of Queens, and appeared on the NBC show Trauma. He played one of the group members of Mayhem in the Moesha episode "Mayhem at the Jam Esp" (March 19, 2001).

Notorious 2009 [F.U.L.L] movie - Jamal Woolard, Anthony Mackie, Derek Luke. The life and death story of Notorious B.I.G. (a.k.a. Christopher Wallace), who came straight out of Brooklyn to take the world of rap music by storm.
I'm an angel with broken wings,
Who's poisoning the night
With love, from me to you
I'm having an episode,
Do you want a small bit part?
I think you might, i hope you do
Oh baby go so slowly
Nowhere, nothing, quiet softly
The world falls apart, in just seven days
It sinks to the bottom, in oceans of rain
The cure is so clear, the blood is astray
And everyone dies, except for the rain
...and i think that i'm starting to scare myself
I hate myself, and i want you to die
So insincere, swallowing ice
And it all will render useless
Welcome to enhancement by affiliation
Time swept by in a hungry nation
And everybody's dancing to get it off their chests
And everybody dies, but no one gets to rest
Go slow for the angels will fall
